Groupement professionnel, ayant une personnalité juridique, auquel ont été admis les membres de la profession et bénéficiant de prérogatives étatiques telles que le pouvoir réglementaire et le pouvoir disciplinaire. Note - L'utilisation dans ce sens de l'expression anglaise «professional corporation» est propre à la législation québécoise. 3, record 1, French, - ordre%20professionnel
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le projet de loi n° 140, sanctionné le 17 juin 1994, a apporté des modifications à la dénomination de plusieurs ordres professionnels, dont celui des médecins. Malheureusement, le législateur, conseillé par l'Office (mal dénommé) des professions, s'est permis de malmener la langue française à cette occasion. Ainsi, il a opté pour l'expression «Ordre professionnel» plutôt que pour le mot «Ordre» tout court. 6, record 1, French, - ordre%20professionnel
